The Denarius coin was used during the Roman Empire and was made of silver. It was first introduced during the reign of Emperor Augustus in 27 BC and remained in circulation until the late 3rd century AD.

The Denarius was an important part of the Roman economy and was used for everyday transactions, as well as for taxes and debts. It was also used as a form of propaganda, with the emperor's image and titles promoting the idea of Roman power and authority.
